Testimonial – Residential Training Xena the German Shorthaired Pointer

Hi Damian

A quick email to say a HUGE thank you for your work with my girl Xena whilst in your care at residential. And agreeing to continue with us on the forthcoming training sessions

As you know Xena was proving to be too much of a handful for me and your description of “baptism of fire” only mildly described how I felt, you saw for yourself how stressed I was with her and how pushy, and dominant she was (2 females like this within the one household was always going to be a challenge).

I have to be honest and say that prior to her attending your residential I was having doubts as to whether or not I had made the right choice, not only for me but for Xena as I only want the best for her, and for her to realise her full potential, something I now know without your help I would never achieve.

I am so happy that I didn’t just give up and came to you for the proper advise, it was a difficult decision to put her into what we classed as “borstal” for a month especially as you banned all contact J but you have worked wonders with her, you have achieved in a month what I most likely wouldn’t have in a year. Xena has come home a changed girl and all for the better, you promised to teach her manners, and you most certainly have. I know she is still young and will try to push boundaries (last night in the park with so many distractions proved that) however before you taking her under your wing, going out with her was always a chore and very rarely a pleasure but after picking her up on Monday that is soooo not the case, our morning walks are awesome I get in twice the distance in half the time as I’m not continually having to fight with her to stop her pulling and I can’t wait to leave the office to take her out on her evening stroll.

With your continued training and advice (for us both) I see a bright future ahead. From the bottom of my heart I thank you…

And a message for anyone considering residential with you….. DO IT!!!! DO IT NOW…… you cannot imagine the joy ahead that it will bring

Big licks from Xena x
